These are about tagging the actual beds of decorative flowers with
landuse=flowerbed (which I think is totally a landuse - it is land dedicated to
flowers for display or decoration),
-1 ... it is not a 'landuse'.
The same can be done by other things than flower beds ... lilies on a pond,
topiary for example.
It is not defined by 'flowerbed!
It is a land cover ...
and tagging gardens that are "flower spectacles" - places that grow flowers
primarily as a spectacle (and often charge admission) using a garden:type=foobar is the
two tags I am asking for feedback on. Landuse=grass is crappy - is it for sports?
picnicing? Roadside shoulder? Landscaping?
A flower bed can be for obtaining cut flowers in a residential garden. The land
use is still residential, not flowerbed.
A flowerbed can be in the middle of a roundabout, the landuse is still highway.
The land cover in both the above is a flowerbed.
Luckily flowers in a non-farm sense serve a single purpose - to be looked at.
They are colorful decorations. You don't sleep on them. You don't play sports
on them. People grow flowers in dedicated land merely to be enjoyed.
Or to cut up and placed inside for decoration and smell.

Several places around the world grow tulips and build a Dutch windmill to emulate a
working landuse=farmland - but just as Space Mountain is neither a spaceship nor an
actual mountain, these are tourist attractions made to emulate the look of a farm for
people looking to take pictures. These fall into the category of "flower
attractions" and I want to tag these as such.
Tourist attractions. Land cover = flowerbed.
When I lived in San diego, the only thing I had ever seen like this is the
Carlsbad flower fields. There are formal botanical gardens and rose gardens -
but a town or large commercial park just doesn't purposefully grow very large
fields of flowers in a large field and put out a viewing platform like they do
in Japan *and* get hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people a week
that come to just merely view the spectacle that they purposefully made, year
after year in the same spot and static configuration.
Maybe it is common in the rest of the world, but these flower spectacles (and
their dedicated area just for flowers) seems something that needs precise
tagging.
